I have been kind of taking a break over the past few days. Almost a week. I have been working on some online courses as well as taking some time to play a game and spend some time with some friends online.
Unfortunately I still watch the news, if you can call it that. Our VP shot someone, in case you have been in a cave and did not know that. He “peppered” some guy in the neck and face. I wont get into the details of it here I think if you are interested in it you can find the story anywhere. The weird part of this is the press coverage of the event. Dick did not let them know fast enough and now they are a bit pissed. I am interested in a lot of different things on the news and thank god the internet allows me to go look for a the story when my local and national news refuses to tell me, but for hours will debate whether or not he should call them when something like this happens.
I think basically this:
I our VP were to use his position of authority to justify ignoring the moral correctness of insuring that family members knew ALL the facts of the situation, we and the press would rape him in the news. HOWEVER it seems that our press is allowed to use his position of authority to justify ignoring the moral correctness of insuring that family members knew ALL the facts of the situation, and if were not allowed to we will rape him in the news.
I have a friend who hates Algebra and I am trying to convince him that Algebra is more about problem solving than it is about “math”. Numbers are the tools used to explain the problem solving. Because they are “facts” they allow for the easiest explanation. One of the principals of algebra is getting “balance” in your equation. If you can make sure that both sides of the equals signs are the same you then you have proven that you variables are correct.
Example.
x2 = x(5 * 1)
We know here that x = 0 simple. You put in anything else and they don't equal.
If X= (position of Vice Presidency as basis to justify ignoring the moral correctness of insuring that family members knew ALL the facts of the situation before publicity is gained.)
WRONG = WRONG
(Press uses) + X = Y
We know that the press believes (or says) that politicians have no moral advantage over the rest of us so
(VP uses) + X = WRONG
We know that morally we are all to be judged on the same standard so….
(VP uses) + X = (Press uses) + X
(Press uses) + X = WRONG
Again our media has the power to re-write moral values on the fly to fit their needs. We have not seen the end of this. If you have any more questions on the “weapons of mass persuasion” feel free to do some Google searches new Anti American movies that are being released in Europe.
Again I have to say these things are beyond our control so anger is not an option. Still I can not stop the fear.
